Brad

Drums

Bradley Santiago is an Arizona-based drummer who brings his blend of precision and timing to both Starfire and the sci-fi-themed project Boss Hectic.

Having grown up all over America as the child of an artist and a musician—moving from Austin, Texas, to San Jose, California, with a whole lot of stops in between—he grew up surrounded by music and creativity.

That unique upbringing heavily shaped his musical path. Raised on the massive, foundational energy of AC/DC and KISS, Brad later found a permanent home in the alternative and punk scenes, skateboarding and drawing inspiration from the rhythms of Green Day and Weezer. He has played for audiences all over Arizona, from nightclubs, to festivals, to family events, bringing a distinct blend of star-powered enthusiasm for his instrument and a grounded, reliable pocket to every stage.

When he isn’t behind the kit, Brad keeps his routine focused and straightforward. He can usually be found out skateboarding or relaxing at home. Most of all, his favorite downtime is spent reading, hanging out with his daughter, and spending time with the family cat
